font-family:Arial;font-weight:normal'> I running nagios
2.5 (yes, I know it’s old) and I’m trying to figure out how to
adjust the interval time when a host check notices a problem. I currently
have my max_check_attempts in my host definition set to 10, and when that host
goes down, it seems to only have a 3 second interval on its checking, so the 10
checks take only 30 seconds before switching from a SOFT state to HARD, and
sending out a notification. I know there’s an retry_check_interval
option for service definitions, but didn’t see an equivalent for the host
definitions. I looked in nagios.cfg and didn’t see anything
there. I’d like to adjust this so that it waits about 60 seconds
between each check. Thanks.<o:p></o:p></span></font></b></p>
